When running my ESET scanner, it picked up WIN32 viruses. Once the scan was finished it was removed from the computer, however, my Java and Adobe will not update. When I try to update it says there is an installation already in progress, when there clearly is not. Could the virus be blocking the rest of my updates? Did the ESET only remove bits of it? Can you help me out with this?

My computer model is a Windows Vista, it is protected with Avast and has Malwarebytes Anti-Malware.

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from Malwarebytes.org.Alternate link: BleepingComputer.com.(Note: if you already have the program installed, just follow the directions. No need to re-download or re-install!)

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

(Note: if you already have the program installed, open Malwarebytes from the Start Menu or Desktop shortcut, click the Update tab, and click Check for Updates, before doing the scan as instructed below!)

Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, then click Finish.

If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.

Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.

The scan may take some time to finish,so please be patient.

When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.

Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.

When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. If you are prompted to restart, please allow it to restart your computer. Failure to do this, will cause the infection to still be active on the computer.

Please save the log to a location you will remember.

The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.

The log can also be found at C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt or at C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt

RootRepeal is not working, I attempted to scan with it four times and in the middle of scanning it crashes. It pulls up an error screen, but it's blank and there is nothing written on it. When I hit X the entire thing crashes. This has happened four times I attempted to scan with it.

Please download 7-Zip and install it. If you already have it, no need to reinstall.

Then, download RootkitUnhooker and save the setup to your Desktop.

Right-click on the RootkitUnhooker setup and mouse-over 7-Zip then click Extract to "RKU***"

Once that is done, enter the folder, and double-click on the setup file. Navigate through setup and finish.

Once that is done, you will see another folder that was created inside the RKU folder. Enter that folder, and double-click on the randomly named file. (It will be alpha-numeric and have an EXE extension on it.)

It will initialize itself and load the scanner. It will also install its driver. Please wait for the interface to begin.

Once inside the interface, do not fix anything. Click on the Report tab.

Next, click on the Scan button and a popup will show. Make sure all are checked, then click on OK. It will begin scanning. When it gets to the Files tab, it will ask you what drives to scan. Just select C:\ and hit OK.

It will finish in about 5 minutes or a little longer depending on how badly infected the system is, or if your security software is enabled.

When finished, it will show the report in the Report tab. Please copy all of it, and post it in your next reply. Depending on how large the log is, you may have to use two or three posts to get all the information in.
